Chapter 1935

Regarding the case in Danzhou that year, it was indeed very involved. Not only many people among the people were arrested for being involved, but also many people in the official circles of Haihan and Ming Dynasty were involved in it at that time.

Official title or even life. Naturally, there will be some shady content in this. Even the Ministry of Security may not fully grasp this information. Both Zhang Qianzhi and Gai Liangcai know that there is something unspeakable in this. Although it is so long ago,

After many years, it was still better to be cautious, so we stopped discussing this topic with a tacit understanding.

The safe topic that the two of them can talk about at the moment is naturally the special mission they are performing. The two of them basically have the same impression of Li Bo. They think that although this person is young, he is quite responsible as a superior, and

His attitude in foreign affairs activities is neither humble nor arrogant, and he has a calm performance beyond his true age.

Of course, this is Li Bo's first visit to Haihan Kingdom, and his shortcomings in knowledge will inevitably be exposed in front of Haihan officials. No matter how calm he is, he will not be able to do anything when he sees Haihan's various

Excitement will inevitably show up when encountering new things. Zhang Qianzhi has met many foreign dignitaries in the past few years and is very familiar with this subtle emotion of envy, jealousy and hatred. He noticed it as soon as Li Bo showed any signs of it.

In addition, the Ministry of Security's intelligence collection on Li Bo has already been in progress, so after taking over this task, Zhang Qianzhi can temporarily fill up all kinds of information about Li Bo and have a better understanding of his basic situation.

Gai Liangcai does not have such conditions at all. Even though the Military Intelligence Office has compiled intelligence related to Li Bo, he has not been able to access this information for the time being due to his authority, and the superiors have not provided him with it because of his mission.

Special treatment. So in terms of his understanding of Li Bo, Gai Liangcai is definitely not as good as Zhang Qianzhi, who came prepared.

Zhang Qianzhi put down his wine glass and asked proactively: "I see that Brother Gai has commanded well these days. Have you ever performed similar tasks before?"

Gai Liangcai responded: "I feel ashamed to say it. To be honest with Brother Zhang, I have not received any special security training. This is also the first time I have received the task of protecting an important person. I can only be cautious along the way and try not to make any mistakes."

"So, Brother Gai has the talent for this job!" Zhang Qianzhi praised: "If Brother Gai is interested, after this mission is over, I can try to recommend Brother Gai to take a course in security.

"

Gai Liangcai already had a desire to make friends with Zhang Qianzhi, so naturally he would not refuse the other person's kindness. He immediately cupped his fists and said, "Then Gai will thank Brother Zhang here first!"

Gai Liangcai actually had the idea of ​​joining the Intelligence Bureau or the General Staff Department before. If he had joined the army two years earlier, it would have been much easier to realize this wish. After all, the size of the Haihan Army at that time

It's not big, there aren't many outstanding military officers, and it's easier to get training and promotion opportunities.

When he came up with this idea, he had to be transferred from the combat force to the Military Intelligence Bureau or the General Staff Department. The lowest military rank was a second lieutenant, and he had to undergo relevant refresher courses. Although Gai Liangcai already had a sufficient military rank at that time,

However, opportunities for further education are not always available. Basically, only officers who have recently achieved major military exploits or are already confirmed to be promoted can be arranged to study advanced military courses in military academies.

Although Gai Liangcai has his own personal connections, he is unable to exert himself in this field, and Gai Liangcai has not had any particularly dazzling military exploits in recent years. He has been climbing up the ranks little by little based on his service years, so

There is no competitiveness at all. This time he tried every means to get the task of guarding the crown prince of Joseon, hoping to be promoted to the rank of major with this merit. One of the additional benefits of a cross-level promotion from Wei to Colonel is that he will be promoted to major.

Opportunities for further education at military academies.

It is precisely because it is so difficult to obtain opportunities for further study that Gai Liangcai is particularly grateful for Zhang Qianzhi's statement. He knows that with Zhang Qianzhi's status, it is not difficult to do this. After all, this young security official has an extraordinary background.

It is said that he has a deep personal relationship with many senior officials of the Executive Committee. Going to Fort Victory is like going home. Just saying hello to the relevant departments may give him another opportunity to further his studies.

Although I may not be able to receive security tasks like this again in the future, it never hurts to have the opportunity to learn more. It may become one of my assets to compete for promotion opportunities in the future. In addition, I can establish a personal friendship with Zhang Qianzhi and build a close relationship with Gai.

It is undoubtedly an excellent benefit for talented people.

Feeling Zhang Qianzhi's favor towards him, Gai Liangcai felt much more relaxed. After three glasses of wine, he also started chatting and asked Zhang Qianzhi about security issues.

In fact, Zhang Qianzhi is not very professional in the field of providing protection for important people. What he is good at is intelligence analysis, investigation and solving of crimes. However, Gai Liangcai's attitude was humble and he spared no effort to praise him.

Zhang Qianzhi tried his best to give him some advice.

Although Zhang Qianzhi himself has not received professional training in this area, he has the advantage of getting along with senior officials in Haihan for a long time. He has already been familiar with the security measures around these senior officials. For a layman like Gai Liangcai,

In front of me, Zhang Qianzhi can indeed be called an expert.

Before this, Gai Liangcai had almost always thought about the security deployment by himself, and then tried his best to cooperate with local security measures. Although the effect so far seems to be good, and there are no mistakes, but this is after there have been no problems.

Under the premise of abnormal conditions, he was not sure whether the security measures he deployed would still be watertight if there was an emergency.

Zhang Qianzhi used to think that he did a good job mainly because Gai Liangcai was careful and did not make any obvious mistakes. However, if you want to look at it from a professional perspective, there will naturally be a lot of room for improvement. Zhang Qianzhi

He pointed out a few places with storage problems and gave explanations. Gai Liangcai had been thinking about these things all day. When he heard Zhang Qianzhi's words, he suddenly became enlightened. He stopped drinking immediately and wrote down these key points first to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Then forget about it.

Early the next morning, Gai Liangcai gathered his team in high spirits and issued several new orders to them. The main contents were the details of Zhang Qianzhi's suggestions last night. Since it was not a major adjustment, what he ordered

There won't be much problem adapting to the subordinates he leads. The soldiers he led on this mission are veterans who were personally trained and selected by him, so he doesn't need to worry too much about the execution of orders.

.

The detailed adjustments had no impact on the already arranged itinerary. The convoy still set off from the manor as scheduled and headed for Changhua Industrial Zone under the escort of armed cavalry.

The section of road from the manor to the official road is relatively secluded, and it is also the section of the road that Gai Liangcai cares about most. There are unlogged dense forests on both sides of the road, and even if there are hundreds of people hiding in it, it is not easy to detect. But this

The road was only a few miles long, and the convoy soon turned to the official road with a wider road surface and a wider view. There were also several soldiers guarding the fork in the road to prevent cars and horses on the road from colliding with the convoy. Gai Liangcai was in the carriage.

After seeing this scene, I felt a little more relaxed.

The convoy marched along the official road, turned north outside the county town, and went straight to the industrial zone without entering the city. When you see the tall chimneys emitting black smoke in front of you, you will see the location of the Changhua Industrial Zone.

The main industry of Changhua Industrial Zone is metal smelting and processing. In terms of the scale of these two industries alone, it is even higher than that of Sanya Tiandu Industrial Zone. Although Sanya Nachutiandu Iron Mine was mined early,

The reserves and quality of the mineral deposits were not as good as Shilu, so later the Ministry of Industry simply designated Changshilu area as a key development area for these two industries.

And this development zone supports not only thousands of local industrial workers, thousands of miners in Shilu, and their families, but also many practitioners in related industries, such as the shipping industry with Changhua Port as its destination.

There are at least two fixed freight routes - Heitu Port - Changhua, and Sanya - Changhua. There are at least a hundred cargo sailing ships plying these two routes all year round, and the number of sailors to support them alone is thousands.

.

In addition, there are a large number of new immigrants who quietly exchange their labor for living materials and labor points here, with the goal of obtaining the qualifications for naturalization as soon as possible. There are such people in ports, railway stations, industrial zones and mines.

Sweating. Due to the high mobility of these people, it is difficult for officials to calculate a specific number, but the most conservative estimate is that there are at least two to three thousand people.

The core of all industries are these large and small blast furnaces in the smelting workshops. Li Fu was very interested in these huge furnaces with quite novel shapes. From the moment he entered the workshop, he focused his attention on observing their production.

process.

Qiao Zhiya also lost no time in explaining the production principles of these blast furnaces to Li Bo in as simple and clear words as possible: "We will send the crushed iron ore, coke and some fluxes from the top of the furnace into the blast furnace in a certain proportion, so that the coke and ore will

An alternating layered structure is formed in the furnace. After these raw materials are fully burned inside, they will melt into iron and iron slag, and then be released from the iron mouth and slag mouth regularly."

In fact, the physical and chemical reactions of ironmaking are of course not as simple as what Qiao Zhiya said, but even so, Li Bo was a little confused. The common sense he had was to melt the iron ore at high temperature, and then

Turning into molten iron, Li Bo had no idea why other raw materials were added and why such a strange-looking blast furnace was used for smelting.

But even if he didn't understand the professional terminology in these production links, Li Bo still listened to Qiao Zhiya's introduction with great interest. Although he had not been in Haihan for a long time, he had already realized that the strength of this country is actually related to steel.

The widespread use of steel is inseparable. Not only the military's extensive use of guns and guns made of steel, but also the steam engines used in various production sites, as well as the impressive railway transportation, all require massive amounts of steel.

Haihan can use hundreds of thousands of kilograms of iron to build a steam locomotive, of course because the steel production capacity is enough to support them to use precious steel in more high-end manufacturing. Li Pu believes that although his country cannot build a steam locomotive,

It is an advanced gadget, but if it can manage to increase its steel production capacity to a level similar to that of Haihan, it can at least manufacture a large amount of weapons and equipment on its own, thereby effectively increasing its country's military strength.

Among the series of industrial cooperation projects agreed between Haihan and North Korea, there is a metal smelting and processing industry located at the mouth of the Datong River to cooperate with iron ore mining. And based on natural conditions, the local iron ore and coal mines are all in the Datong River basin.

The conditions for building a coal-iron composite industry are even much better than those in Shilu, Changchang. After all, this place only has iron ore, and the large amount of coal required for smelting needs to be transported across the sea from the Black Earth Port.

After studying the situation in Changhua in the past two days, Li Bo also realized that the country's basic development conditions in the Datong River Basin are even better than Haihan. If Haihan's production methods and production efficiency in this field can be brought to the

When you come to North Korea, the prospects for the development of the industry are bright.

But before that, he still had to figure out how Haihan smelted iron ore into steel. Even if he couldn't fully understand the production process, he should at least try his best to write down everything he saw and heard here.

Perhaps it will come in handy when the country builds this type of smelting industry in the future.

At the same time, Xue Zheng and a group of his subordinates pretended to be odd-job coolies and infiltrated into the transportation team transporting coke to the smelting area. The reason why they succeeded so easily is also very simple, that is, they only have very low requirements.

Remuneration, and the foreman who undertakes the task of transporting coke naturally wants to pay his subordinates as little as possible. As for where these people come from and whether they have any special purpose, the foreman does not waste his brain to think about these issues. He only needs to remember

If Qing transports a truckload of carbon from the coke factory to the destination, he will receive one yuan in freight income.

When business is good, there are never enough animals, mules, and horses, so the flatbed carts that transport coke will be pulled by humans when necessary. For example, this is the case for the three carts of coke that Xue Zheng and others are responsible for. The foreman gives each cart a

After they arrived at the destination, they exchanged this number plate for another settlement plate at the opposite side, and then took the car back to the coke factory to settle the bill.

"If you are literate and can read the words on the sign in your hand, that is the destination you are going to! A3 is the furnace No. 3 in Area A, B2 is the furnace No. 2 in Area B, and so on! If you are illiterate,

Remember how those two words are written, and look at the road signs to find the way when you get there! Also, if you don’t come back within an hour after setting off, your pay will be deducted in half! Do you understand? If you understand, just go and do things!"

After the foreman assigned the task in a hurry, he drove these people to set off quickly. If he could seize the time and let these cheap laborers make two more trips, the foreman would be able to add a few more dishes to the dinner today.
Chapter completed!
